Instructions

Add the oil and fajitas seasoning to that chicken, peppers and onions. Toss to coat. Make sure everything is coated evenly.
Air fry
Transfer seasoned chicken, peppers and onion mix into the air fryer basket.
Set temperature to 390°F / 200°C and cook for 15 mins. Remember to toss the chicken fajitas with a spatula half way through cooking time.
Let it rest for 2 mins in the air fryer before serving.
Notes
No need to preheat the air fryer.
Use just enough oil to coat the chicken and veggies. 1 tablespoon works for me especially when using chicken thighs. If you find that it’s not well coated, you can use add ½ a tablespoon more making it a total of 1 ½ Tablespoons.
